I read somewhere that a battalion of 10,000 Tang soldiers and 20,000 local conscripts fought with 200,000 soldiers from an Arab coalition and killed 70,000 of them. This all happened despite the betrayal of those local conscripts...
Tang was truly a superpower back then.
China has invested the more money than any country in clean energy, three times higher than that of the US. China produces the more clean energy too, almost twice at much as what US produces.
Say that to those children who were blown into pieces by US drone strikes and Tomahawks in the name of ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’. If anything, the US government is the shameless one.
China can afford to have its cities flattened while this can't be said for India. But this might be helpful for India because its toilet per capita will certainly go up.
Following EU's announcement that it will not take sides in a trade war, the US immediately offers China a potential olive branch. The US just showed a sign of weakness which China can't ignore. China should take the initiative and hit the US 'head on'.
